buying a second hand 911.

[stavrossthegreek]

Hello all, I'm thinking of making the change to and my first jump into 911 ownership.

What are the main things I should look out for when buying a second hand beast?
Plus tiptronic, manual or automatic. I'm used to manual, various pitfalls of variants?

Thanks guys.

Give us a clue which end of the market you're looking at. '73 RS or nearly new 991 or somewhere in between ?

Indeed, there is 51 years of thousands of models!

around the year 2000 mark. My budget can fit these ones close to the 12k mark.
